Suncoat is best known for its expertise in water-based nail polish technology, Suncoat Products offers a complete line of water-based nail polish products as well as natural organic colour cosmetics. Their range includes vegan products and all products avoid harsh toxins. Liu Yingchun of Suncoat tells us her story:"Back in 2001, when my then seven-year old little girl first showed interest in nail polish, I took a long, hard look at the ingredients in conventional nail polish, and was horrified to find toxic chemicals such as toluene, formaldehyde releasing ingredients, acetates, phthalate, alcohol etc. As a chemist, I knew how much potential damage these toxic chemicals could do to my innocent little girl.
So I went out to retail stores, searching for a water-based, non-toxic nail polish for my daughter. Much to my surprise however, I failed to find anything at all. There was virtually no water-based nail polish on the market.
I had no choice but to develop a water-based nail polish myself. At that point, I began dreaming of introducing a line of non-toxic, environmentally friendly nail polish products to the market for other women and young girls to enjoy.
Although I have worked as a research chemist for many years, only after I started working on water-based nail polish had I realized how difficult it was to formulate a quick drying, long-lasting water-base nail polish. The current formulation for manufacturing Suncoat water-based nail polish is the result of numerous long days in the lab, and many sleepless nights in the office."
Water-based nail polish has been a long held dream for cosmetic scientists. There has not been a quality water-based nail polish on the market until 5 years ago when Suncoat launched its water-based nail polish line. Many of the major cosmetic companies have attempted to develop water-based nail polishes. It is however the technical difficulties that have prevented them from being successful. From Suncoat’s experience and knowledge, the major technical challenges for formulating water-based nail polish is lack of adhesion (to human nails) and slow drying time.
Toluene and formaldehyde-free chemical nail polish is not comparable to water-based nail polish. These nail polishes still give off chemical fumes, pollute the air, have an offensive odour, and are highly flammable and explosive. They still can harm nails, making the nails dry, yellow, brittle and weak.
In Suncoat water-based nail polish, the chemical solvents (toluene and acetates etc) are replaced by water. When applied, water vapor is released in to the air, not chemical fumes. This nail polish does not dry or discolour nails, practically odour free, it is not flammable and it is environmentally friendly. Earth pigments and carmine are used for colours. Where earth pigments are used the polishes are suitable for vegans.
Next on the list was Suncoat Natural Nail Polish remover, this earth friendly product is naturally derived from farm crops and does not contain any petroleum ingredients. It is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic. It is also readily biodegradable.
Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover works for both water-based nail polish and conventional nail polish. It is an excellent replacement for traditional chemical nail polish remover
We expanded our repertoire from natural colour cosmetics to hair care with the launch of a sugar-based natural hair styling spray in 2005, and the addition of sugar-based natural hair styling gel, hair styling mousse and a new hair styling spray in 2008.
These hair styling products provide volume, long lasting hold and add shine without using any chemicals. They are also alcohol-free which prevents hair from drying out. Suitable for all hair types, can be applied to dry or damp hair and are suitable for vegans too.
This sugar-based natural mascara is another unique product Suncoat developed. Made with natural sugar-based biopolymer, kaolin clay, earth pigments and enriched with vitamin E. Naturally builds lash volume and length. A superior alternative for your sensitive eyes and our environment! Although NOT waterproof, our natural mascara has GREAT wear-ability and resists smudging, but washes off easily with regular skin cleanser and water. It is not tested on animals << Less
